what will i need?

[angelisis]

hi all

this is going to sound really stupid but i think, very worth asking....i was just wondering......my computer was built by a friend of mine so would not have a clue to what it is or what it is capable of doing and without confusing me to much i just wanted to know if it will run CotN when it comes onto the shelves.
i am not computer savy i just load 'em up and play away. pharoah/cleo,ceaser and all games like that run well on my system but being that CotN has 3D was not sure if my system could handle it.... it takes the sims nicely, if that helps....so anyone that knows what there doing could help me get CoTn ready i would be as happy as a baby with a lollie pop. i would hate to get it and find out i need stuff to run it.

thanks

I'm sure they don't have any real idea of what will be required for sure, but I would say you'd probably want at least a P3 800Mhz or faster minimum. They'll tell us when the game gets closer to release and the beta test has been carried out.

Here you go, right from the CotN website:
